al-Haj and Islamic math

Reader comment on item: Mecca Mean Time?

Submitted by dhimmi no more (United States), Nov 28, 2010 at 09:03

I just wonder how much would this new hotel cost per night and how many Muslims can afford it?

But again Allah says that every Muslim that is an able body must perform al-haj once in a life time and with Allah's blessings and with eating halal products Muslims must be very healthy. So we should expect that all1.2B of them should do the haj thing. But wait: The Saudis allow only 2M to perfrom the haj this would mean that it would take the Muslims alive today 600 years ( 1.2B divided by 2M) so all of them can perfrom the haj! ooops Allah made a mistake on math!

You see any religion, that tells us that it is for all of us either in peace or by force, it invites scrutiny and ridicule
